Did Dyspraxia mess with your emotions?

Did Dyspraxia mess with your emotions? I've noticed certain emotions are different to a normal human being. Sadness for me always seems to be very high as well as worrying but emotions like hate and anger, I rarely have. What about you?

I don't experience hate at all but anger and jealuousy are strong ones for me as well as anxiety. One thing though-it is a bit generalising to imply that "normal" people all experience the same emotions and that dyspraxics experience different emotions. I know you probably didn't intend it to come out like that but that's how some people may take it.

I don't think dyspraxia makes you emotionaly different from others, but it does mean that at certain times of your life you may have more to deal with. I put yes because at a time when I really needed to blend in a litlte it was like a big neon light saying "Freak!", and that made me get quite depressed for over 4 years.

I do not think that dyspraxia affects your emotional reactions, at least not to that degree. It's important not to conflate dyspraxia with mental health difficulties such as anxiety, depression, and social phobia. (I remember you talking about having social phobia on another thread.)

I developed a very anxious streak in preschool because my special needs were not being met. The anxiety escalated to clinical levels because of bullying. As a result my emotional reactions were not always congruent with or proportionate to the situation, but thanks to a longish stint of cognitive behavioural therapy this has got much better. I still suffer from anxiety, but I am able to regulate my emotional responses now.

the stuff I suffered because of my Dyspraxia made me depressed but not the Dyspaxia in self. For instance i was bullied because of dyspraxia and that affected my selfasteem and emotions.The sexual abuse was done to me at a special ed school were i went because of DCD and i selfharmed because i could talk about my emotions because of verbal dyspraxia.
so if depressions an emotion then dyspraxia affected my emotions I guess. I seem to sound like i am blaming my dyspraxia for everything, which i was a bit but let me just end in a posative note and say i still wouldnt get rid of dypraxia if i could and im glad I went to that school.

I want to scream and cry all the time now I mainly only get cross at people though I seem to have advanced hearing and can hear people far away 4 people talking about me behind my back I confront them with what I hear and say that then I get mad I seem to always be stressed but is quite optimistic I used o be reall y happ y but now just when I'm on my own with my friend or finished all the questions in history which is meant to take an hour and a weeks homework people kept teapetedly asking me questions I wanted to tell them that I dont know everything but they seem to think I'm a history swot sorry for going off topic
